As the war of words intensified, all members of the two teams seemed to be getting involved.
Luer Deng said disdainfully: "We are not afraid of any opponent. We are confident to win all games. Last time, if there was no accident, we would not have lost!"
Although Luer Deng did not mention the Heat between the lines, everyone could understand his hint.
The so-called accident simply refers to O'Neal's deliberate foul that caused Chen Jie to be injured. Everyone knows this.
After Luer Deng, Chandler and Duhon, who were involved in the brawl last time the Bulls faced the Heat, also jumped out and expressed their disdain for O'Neal's foul in the last game.
Naturally, the Heat were not to be outdone. Eddie Jones, Damon Jones and others also stood up to support O'Neal.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the players from the two teams are already going back and forth and quarreling like crazy.
The Bulls team also arrived in Miami at 10:30 that night.
After coming out of the airport, the first thing the Bulls received was the "warm" reception from Miami fans.
The entire airport was surrounded. There were so many curses that it took half an hour for the bus that took the Bulls players to the hotel to leave the airport.
Faced with the provocation from Heat fans, the Bulls players didn't say much. Everything will be revealed on the court.
Anyway, the grudge has been settled, so there is no need to worry about these things.
After a night's rest, the game started the next day.
The game between the Bulls and the Heat is also the focus of this round. Tnt.abc. All major television stations in the United States have broadcast this game live across the country.
And just in time for Saturday, CCTV naturally did not pull it. Recently, the Heat just signed another Chinese player Wang Zhizhi from nbdl who is now playing in the United States. Therefore, CCTV’s special feature on this game is called China
Derby.
But everyone knows that Wang Zhizhi's status in the team is completely impossible to compare with Chen Jie. To say that this game is a Chinese derby is really a bit reluctant.
Of course, CCTV doesn't care about this. The so-called Chinese Derby is just a gimmick for CCTV. Just like many American TV stations regard this game as a battle of revenge.
At seven o'clock that night, the American Airlines Center was already packed, and the cheers and screams in the stands shook the ceiling. Compared to the United Center in Chicago, the atmosphere at the American Airlines Center seemed to be even better.
A little more enthusiastic.
With two iconic stars, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade, the attendance rate for every game at the American Airlines Center is very objective.
This season, the American Airlines Center has gradually become one of the most devilish home stadiums in the league. At least, from the beginning of the season to now, no team has been able to win a victory here.
But the Bulls came here to win tonight.
The overwhelming boos did not affect the Bulls players' warm-up. The Bulls players wearing red training uniforms were all calmly running and shooting, trying hard to find their form before the game.
Each team occupies one half of the court, but there is no intersection. The midfield line seems to be like the Chu-He-Han boundary on a chessboard, dividing the stadium into two points.
In fact, many Heat players are very familiar with Bulls players, but because of the war of words before the game, no one came to say hello to the Bulls at this time.
Even Wang Zhizhi didn't come over to greet Chen Jie.
As the hosts, the Heat did not take the initiative to come over to greet them, and the Bulls players were even less likely to greet them. During the entire warm-up time, the two teams were clearly separated and there was no contact at all.
After the warm-up, the opening ceremony, the players entered one by one, and the on-site DJ introduced the players and head coaches of both sides.
When Chen Jie was introduced, the boos at the American Airlines Center reached their peak.
This city doesn't seem to welcome this year's best rookie.
"Jay Sean, get out of Miami!"
"Jay Sean, you are a softie!"
"Jay Sean, go eat shit!"
"Jay Sean, Shaq is right, you are the most disappointing rookie this year!"
…
Chen Jie could naturally hear these curses, but he didn't pay much attention to them. He stood up, waved his hands around politely, and then sat down calmly.
This is not the first time playing away games, Chen Jie is already used to it.
Compared to the treatment Chen Jie received, when O'Neal was introduced, the atmosphere was completely opposite. At least in this game, he received even warmer cheers than Wade.
"Shaq, you're the best!"
"Shaq, kill Jay Sean!"
"Shaq..."
Even before the game started, the fans seemed to have been stirred up with enthusiasm, and the voice of the American Airlines Center DJ was drowned in the sea of cheers.
Finally, at half past seven, the game started.
On duty as the referee, bald Crawford walked to the center circle with a basketball.
Players from both sides came onto the court one by one from the technical stage. Haslem, Rafe Butler, Eddie Jones, and Dwyane Wade seemed to be very friendly. They at least bumped fists with Chen Jie.
O'Neal, however, ignored Chen Jie at all and walked straight past him, ignoring this rising star.
Originally, Chen Jie didn't expect to reconcile with him. Seeing his obvious hostility, Chen Jie didn't pay much attention, shrugged and walked to his seat.
But just as he turned around, O'Neal's slightly hoarse voice suddenly came to his ears: "You really shouldn't have come to Miami, you will regret it!"
The threat was very obvious, as if O'Neal was saying that he would let Chen Jie get injured again.
Chen Jie's expression changed and he didn't even look back. He said coldly: "It's a pity that I'm here, and I'm here for revenge!"
Revenge? O'Neill looked at Chen Jie's back and smiled coldly, boy, you are still too young.
Crawford threw the basketball high and the game finally began.
The regular season between the Chicago Bulls, ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and the Miami Heat, ranked fourth, has officially begun.
This game is also a battle of revenge for the Bulls.
And the attention of all fans in the entire United States, and even in China, seemed to be attracted.
This 48-minute game will definitely be exciting. No one doubts this conclusion.
"Battle of Revenge, just hearing the name makes people excited. I really can't wait to watch the game!" Barkley looked intoxicated.
"Revenge? Well, to put it simply, it will not be easy for the Bulls to win this game. I feel that it is possible that Shaq will teach these young people a lesson again!" Smith next to him, now
He has become the standard Jay Black and Bulls Black. He supports any opponent of the Bulls, not to mention that he is the biggest enemy of the Bulls in the league today.
"Don't underestimate Jay Sean. He keeps bringing us miracles. In this game, I think he will do the same!" Unlike Smith, Barkley is now the most famous Jamie in the United States.
"However, I am looking forward to the confrontation between Dwayne and Jay Sean. The two seem to have been rivals since the NCAA. In the NCAA, Jay Sean won, and in the first game of this season, DeWayne
Wayne won, and the two are now tied. Whoever wins this time will be one game ahead of the other!" Smith said with a smile.
"Jay Sean didn't lose in the last game. If he hadn't been injured and went off the field, the result of the game would not have been like that!" Barkley complained to Chen Jie again.
"Haha, that's part of the game!" Smith said.
While the two were talking, the Heat's first offense was over. Wade handed the ball to O'Neal in the paint. Shaq, who usually doesn't use his full strength in the regular season, looked very serious in this game. He singled out Chandler.
Le, there was still no pressure. Before the Bulls had time to double-team, O'Neal almost sat on Chandler and scored the ball with a small hook and scored two points.
But immediately, Luol Deng's mid-range shot responded. Facing Rafe Butler, Luol Deng played very confidently.
No one showed any mercy at the start and each scored a goal.
And the competition slowly began to heat up. (To be continued...)
